On a visit to Woolston Eyes, Marsh Harriers showed well throughout, and Common Buzzards soared overhead.
This one photo of a high bird confused me! First impression was a Marsh Harrier.
But head looks small and long-necked, and tail appears long. Honey Buzzard came to mind!
Thoughts please. TIA.

Thanks for your response. That was my first thought at the time - then I started to doubt myself when I looked at the photo!
